With an .htaccess file, you'll specify how the server that handles the requests to your web sites must act in a variety of cases. This is a text file with directives that are executed when someone tries to open your website and what happens next depends on the content of the file. As an illustration, you may block a certain IP address from opening your website, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain to another URL, so the server may direct the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom-made error pages or shield any part of your website with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, including WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work properly.
